Storm Erik threw its worst at the course on Friday night as it shrugged it off with the drainage system working effectively, the tidal surge made the second hole a bit more interesting, thankfully that receded in quick time.
The following day Saturday, February saw a large number of members playing the course with good scores being posted.
Gary Loveridge (12.0) was the winner in the Saturday Open with a good score of 38 pts. (BOT). Gary had two birdies i.e. on the 10th & 16th, along with six pars.
